Venture is the tire of choice when the destination is unknown but you’re sure to encounter a variety of terrain along the way.

Pretty good tire.

I have about 1k miles on these (700x40) so far in everything from road riding to super chunky gravel events like Keystone Gravel in PA to smooth and fast gravel in Kansas and Iowa. I run them at 38lbs and I'm ~175lbs. I think I still prefer the Riddlers to these, but I'll definitely run these until they wear out. No problems w/ puncturing any area of the tire. They mount up easily and hold air w/o concern, using Stans fluid. Oh and I'm on the original version, not the new SG2.

Disappointing all the way around

I used this tire for two rides... I was riding on custom FSE gravel wheelset @ 35 Front/37 Rear. The first day no technical problems, but I felt that the grip in heavy gravel sections was poor....So bad that I crashed in a fast downhill corner that I've ridden a handful of times without problems. It rolled fast on pavement and hard dirt, and did ok on rough Jeep trails, so I kept them on for the next day. On the second day I flatted this tire 3 times within 3 miles (once in the front, twice in the rear). Two chips out of my carbon gravel rims. Sidewall and Tread punctures. Total disaster. WTB tires are very hit or miss for me. Resolutes are great, Riddlers were similar to this tire.
